Lane closed from St. Laurent to Laval until December <\/i><\/b>

Commuters to and from Laval will continue to confront construction madness until this winter, as the Quebec government continues to repair the province’s crumbling infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Transport Quebec announced that, for the next four months, it will shut down a lane along Highway 15 between C\u00f4te Vertu in St. Laurent and Notre Dame in Laval. <\/p>\n

The closure, which will start Aug. 22, will let construction crews rebuild the Med\u00e9ric Martin Bridge which spans Rivi\u00e8re des Prairies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lane which is closed will vary according to whether it is the morning or afternoon rush hour,\u201d Transports Quebec spokeswoman Sarah Bensadoun told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

Some motorists will be directed to the oncoming lanes, protected by rapidly movable concrete dividers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwice a day, a zipper truck will move them to accommodate the shifting traffic volume,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work will entail the replacement of the bridge deck,\u201d Bensadoun explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe speed limit will be reduced to 80 km\/h in the construction zone,\u201d she added. \u201cA mobile photo-radar vehicle parked on the right side of the road in the vicinity of the M\u00e9d\u00e9ric Martin and Cartier boulevard bridges to enforce the lower speed limit.\u201d <\/p>\n

Transport Quebec also anticipates occasionally shutting down Highway 15 completely overnight.<\/p>\n

It recently closed the autoroute to traffic to permit workers to complete the demolition of the Cartier overpass, disrupting northbound and southbound traffic overnight, as well as cutting off a major urban artery in Laval. Repaving that viaduct ought to be completed in early 2014, Bensadoun confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cUrgent work was done in July, replacing damaged concrete and adding steel,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Although all four lanes ought to be open by Christmas, Transport Quebec cautioned that bad weather or \u201coperational constraints\u201d could delay the full reopening of Highway 15.<\/p>\n
